    Human tissue in vaccine causes autism!! O noes!

    Apparently some genius has discovered a link between the use of human tissues in vaccinations and the rise in autism. Funny, supposedly this happened when they stopped using thimerserol in vaccinations... But I thought that was causing autism! Way to move the goal posts, go anti-vaxxers...

    Vaccine/autism CT discussion

    Split from the "what do you guys believe?" thread here. The proof of the pudding that there are conspiracies at high levels of society is media's insistence that there are NONE. Let's see. Big pharma and the mainstream media insist vaccines are absolutely safe but close to NONE of the...

    Vaccination could have prevented massive egg recall

    Once again, the cost effectiveness and common sense of vaccination has been demonstrated. Recently half a billion eggs have been recalled in the US due to a salmonella outbreak. A vaccination that would cost less than a penny per dozen could have prevented it. U.S. Rejected Hen Vaccine Despite...

    Calling Norwegian pro-vaxers

    It seems there is a discussion board over here which is getting a rather incorrect view about vaccines. Any Norwegian speakers care to pop over for a look see and help fight the good fight?

    In this post, Maher makes the following claim: Well, he's right that I never heard that polio was decreasing prior to the development of the vaccine. I wouldn't know how to go about trying to check on this claim so do any of you know? BTW, he makes some good points but overall I thought it...
